Core Tip
Core Tip: Our study addresses the imperative to minimize the adverse impact of surgery on urinary and reproductive functions, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life for patients. Specifically, we introduce the innovative eight-zone dissection strategy for pelvic floor anatomy within total mesorectal excision procedures, aimed at reducing postoperative complications in these domains. By comparing outcomes between traditional pelvic floor dissection strategies and our novel approach, we demonstrate a significant reduction in postoperative complications related to urinary and reproductive functions. These findings underscore the potential of the eight-zone dissection strategy to mitigate the negative effects of surgery in these critical areas.
